jack avery.
my boyfriend of four years. now ex boyfriend.
i never thought i would see him again. when we broke up, i deleted his number, blocked him on social media. i cut all the ties. i thought he would be gone forever.
i guess not because he's standing right in front of me at the grocery store.
"hey," he said, his eyes staring into mine.
"hi, jack."
"um..h-how are you?" he asked.
"i'm doing well. how are you?" i asked, even though i knew he was going to lie to me.
i've heard things about him, people have told me he's falling apart. i guess when we broke up four months ago he went downhill. i could tell by looking at him that he wasn't okay because his eyes were drooping and he looked messy and tired.
"i'm okay. i...i'm glad to see you again," he said, his voice shaking.
"yeah..um..i guess. i should probably go," i said.
he nodded and i started walking, but he ran after me and stopped me.
"can we please talk? please, i really really want to talk to you," he pleaded.
i sighed and pulled him out of the store and to my car with me. i didn't really want to talk, but i could practically hear his heart breaking, so i gave in.
"jack, i was doing fine. really, and then you waltz back in like you never broke my heart. make this fucking quick because i don't want to waste my time with bullshit," i said, my hands gripping my steering wheel even though i wasn't driving .
"i...well um...look, i'm sorry. i'm really fucking sorry, okay? you w-were right, i should've paid more attention to and cared for you more. i know an apology means nothing to you, but i just need to say it. i miss us, a lot," he said.
"god, jack, there is no is. there never was. you know how my last boyfriends treated me and you still left me in the dark. i don't want you to pity me. don't worry, jack, it hurts a little less each time. i just thought you were really different," i scoffed.
he looked pained by my words.
"i am différent. i'm sorry, baby, i'm so sorry. i sound like a douche right now, but just give me one chance. i'll spend time with you and take you on that hike you wanted and i'll make you your favorite dinner and i'll cuddle you always and i'll stay home when your sick. i know i was an ass and i know your past boyfriends were asses, but not everyone is going to hurt you. especially not me."
"jack, you already hurt me."
"and i will spend the rest of my life feeling awful about it. i will devote my whole life to making it up to you. please just let me try," he begged.
my brain was telling me to get the hell out of the situation, but that night i was laying in his arms.
i never regretted it though. our life together ended up great.
